Mauro Rosales

Mauro Rosales joins the Red-and-White after three seasons with Seattle Sounders FC, where the midfielder appeared in 86 matches (73 starts) and emerged as one of the league’s most dangerous playmakers. The Argentine recorded 34 assists and added 12 scores while helping lead Sounders FC to three-straight playoff appearances. Rosales played in four post-season matches with Seattle and in his first MLS season, the attacker was named MLS Newcomer of the Year.

Prior to joining Seattle, Rosales played for Argentina powerhouses Club Atletico River Plate (2007-2010) and Newell’s Old Boys (1999-2004), as well as Holland’s prestigious AFC Ajax (2004-2007). At the international level, Rosales was part of Argentina’s U-20 National Team that won the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship, and he later won a gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens with the Albiceleste.
